A good story is told at the ex
pense ofa book.keeper ofa promi-
nent coal and steamboat firm on
Water street. A few weeks ago a
hayseed from up the river called at
the office to collect a bill. The book
keeper informed his rural friend
that he would have to present at
the firms upnver Office, as he had
no authority to settle bills. While
they were arguing the question a
pilot of one of the firms boats
dropped in, stating that he was
about TO leave on trip down the
river and needed some money.
The book.keeper, who is some.
what of a joker, informed the pi.
lot that he could not have any
money. The pilot knew that he
was joking, and, with an oath
which raised the hair ON the ru.
raj gentleman's pate, said he must
have the funds, at the same time
grabbing the book.keeper by the
neck. This had the desired effect
and check was accordingly made
out for the amount. The country.
man, who had witnessed the pro-
ceeding lntently, made another de.
mand for his money. Upon being
refused again he thought he would
use the same tactics that the pilot
had, and seized the book.keeper
bv the neck and choked him until
he could scarcely speak. When
released the book. keeper explain
ed more satisfactorily the state of
affairs. The gentleman with the
bill apologized for his bad break,
and took his departure for the up
river Office of the firm. The book
keeper, who is a rather gruff fellow
naturally, generally sizes up his
man since his experience with the
countryman before he makes
bluff.
